Volume 1 Changshui County Handyman Chapter 75 The New Visitor
Guard Mo is leaving!
This time I’m really leaving!
When Lu Jiuzhang came back from Ji Le Fang, it was already midnight, late at night.
But Mo Huwei had not rested yet, sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and admiring the moon.
Lu Jiuzhang opened the door and walked in. Seeing that Guard Mo had not rested yet, he asked.
Mo Weiwei said that he would leave tomorrow.
He took out three taels of gold from his pocket and handed it to Lu Jiuzhang, "You sold that bead that day, and you could probably exchange it for four taels of gold."
"I have been staying with you for nearly a month, and I should pay you back two taels of gold. However, our Qianji Tower breached the contract, so we will pay you an extra two taels of gold!"
"Just keep it."
Now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in refusing.
Lu Jiuzhang nodded and accepted the three ounces of gold.
One tael of gold is worth one thousand taels of silver. Adding the silver on hand to Lu Jiuzhang, there are almost more than 3,600 taels.
If someone sends spiritual grass again after a while, Lu Jiuzhang will take it to Qianji Building in Changshui County and sell it, and he will probably be able to save four thousand taels of silver.
"Is Anxi Prefecture Qianji Tower still retreating?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
This incident was within Lu Jiuzhang's expectation.
But with Guard Mo gone, Lu Jiuzhang lost a lot of help.
Fortunately, Director Zhong took action and eased the conflict with the county magistrate, which can be considered a gain and a loss.
"I still underestimated the Prime Minister of the county. There is news from Anxi Mansion, asking me to set off back to Anxi Mansion tomorrow." Mo Weiwei said, "As for you, I can only say I'm sorry."
"You are so polite, Guard Mo. You have taken care of me for so long. In fact, I am quite satisfied." Lu Jiuzhang said, "If I have the opportunity to go to Anxi Mansion in the future, I will definitely visit you and have a chat with you."
"You're quite optimistic." Mo Weiwei smiled.
Mo Huanwei felt that if he left, Lu Jiuzhang would be close to death.
Going to Anxi Prefecture is even more impossible!
"If you really have the opportunity to go to Anxi Prefecture, I invite you to listen to the music and go to the most famous fireworks place in Anxi Prefecture. It is said that one night can start with at least a thousand taels of silver."
Mo Guard Road.
"Mo Guard is also interested in the land of fireworks?" Lu Jiuzhang was curious.
He has been in Changshui County for a while, but he spends most of his time in Lu Jiuzhang's courtyard and rarely goes out.
Lu Jiuzhang thought he was not interested in those places.
"The fireworks places in Changshui County are all vulgar and not much fun. Anxi Mansion is the best. I once served as a guard and accompanied a Qianji Tower chief who came to inspect from Beilu County."
"Wine pool, meat forest, drunkenness and wealth!"
Mo Weiwei smacked his lips, still not satisfied with the place.
Seeing the reminiscing look on his face, Lu Jiuzhang was a little moved.
You must enjoy it once in your life, otherwise you will regret it even after you die.
In order to go to the Anxi Prefecture Fireworks Land, you have to work hard to survive.
…
The next morning, Guard Mo left.
Lu Jiuzhang also gave him a ride on his way to the Demon Slayer Division.
There was Mo Guard in the courtyard, which was quite popular. Now that Mo Guard has left and Lu Jiuzhang has been away all day, the courtyard seems a bit empty.
After Guard Mo left, Lu Jiuzhang was still a little uncomfortable for a while.
Simply, Lu Jiuzhang didn't bother to go back to his house and stayed in the Demon Slayer Division all day.
…
On the other side, in front of the gate of Changshui County.
A dirty big yellow dog stopped for a long time.
"My dear mother, I've finally arrived."
The big yellow dog actually uttered human words. He was just mumbling to himself in a very low voice, so he did not attract the attention of outsiders.
There were not many people coming and going in front of the city gate, and there were soldiers checking.
The big yellow dog mingled among the crowd and walked toward Changshui County.
"Damn, this bitch is so big!"
At the city gate, a soldier sighed.
The big yellow dog is indeed very big, much larger than other dogs of the same type.
Hearing this, the big yellow dog wagged its tail, quite proudly.
Being praised by others makes even a dog very happy.
"How about killing it and eating dog meat stew tonight?"
"Good idea, I haven't eaten dog meat for a long time. The taste of this local dog is first-class. Some people say that dragon meat is in the sky and donkey meat is in the ground. I don't think so. Dog meat is much more delicious than donkey meat."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm in for a treat tonight..."
"..."
At the city gate, a group of soldiers started chatting.
Damn it!
When the big yellow dog heard this, he was shocked and couldn't help but cursed angrily, "You guys are a bunch of dogs!"
"Who? Who is swearing? The city gate is an important place, and anyone who curses will have to pay a fine of ten copper coins."
The soldier standing at the front shouted quickly.
The salary for guarding the city is very low, and you have to rely on various rules if you want to make money.
Most of these rules were set by them.
The soldiers guarding the city gate said something, and everyone who entered the city gate felt nervous.
I don’t know who is going to be unlucky again.
Most of them are small businessmen and hawkers, traveling from outside the city to the city to sell some things and earn a small amount of money.
The most common ones are those selling vegetables and fruits, and those who collect firewood and sell carbon.
It's just that the weather has warmed up recently, and there are fewer people selling charcoal.
The big yellow dog hurriedly shut up and blended in with the people, sneaking into Changshui County.
"Go east for fifty feet, then turn right for thirty feet, turn north for seventy feet, and then..." The big yellow dog was confused.
What’s the next step?
Although Changshui County is not big, it is quite time-consuming to get around.
The big yellow dog walked for a long time, and finally... couldn't find the way.
On the way, many people were very interested in him, and their eyes almost turned green.
"One day, Master Dog will bite you to death. Humans, hehe, are a lowly species!"
The big yellow dog said angrily.
"Uh-huh-huh..."
Suddenly, a child with a pigtail running up to the sky ran over, took out a bone, and threw it in front of the big yellow dog.
"Woof woof woof..."
The big yellow dog ran over quickly and started chewing on the bones on the ground.
"Rhubarb, let me touch it."
The child reached out and touched the big yellow dog.
Big yellow dogs are particularly useful.
Comfortable, it feels good to be touched.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a full meal. This bone is only half full, no, at most one-third full. It would be great if I had another bone!
After eating the bones, the big yellow dog looked at the child eagerly.
As if seeing that the child could no longer take out the bones, the big yellow dog grinned and immediately refused to let the child touch it.
"Oh, man, you just want to please me with a bone, you're dreaming!"
The big yellow dog barked twice more and then ran away.
…
Until evening, the big yellow dog was still wandering around the streets aimlessly.
Finally, we stopped in front of a house.
The big yellow dog was very hungry and quietly ran near the house.
Not long after, a girl walked out of the house.
The girl kept looking at the opposite door, as if she was waiting for someone.
Seeing this, the big yellow dog hurriedly came over and rubbed against the girl's legs.
"Giggle, are you hungry? Wait, I'll get you some leftovers." The girl's laughter was like a bell, and then she turned and went home.
